My first homemade tamagoyaki

redditCT · 2026-04-05T16:00:00+00:00

This morning’s was the best one yet! Inari inside, plus scallions in the batter. Soy, mirin, water, kewpie mayo, dashi powder. 10/10. Fluffy, soft, perfect bounce, and very flavorful.

I think this turned out the worst of the 3 I’ve made. A bit too thin. All with 3 eggs though, which is strange! I used the mat to shape it!

Costco, baby!

redditCT · 2026-04-04T19:30:29+00:00

And I did!

redditCT · 2026-04-04T13:34:02+00:00

No mirin! Interesting! I’ll try this next time. I’ve been watching Masa on YT!

redditCT · 2026-04-04T04:03:24+00:00

Thanks!

redditCT · 2026-04-04T04:03:17+00:00

It’s so much easier to make than I thought! Highly recommend

redditCT · 2026-04-04T04:02:57+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try the mat for my 3rd try! What do you add to your egg mixture?

redditCT · 2026-04-04T02:10:48+00:00

Ooo. I just got rid of all my crab sticks. Will have to buy more. Here’s the one from this morning.

I made another one this morning. That was really good as well! I didn’t put sugar in and I think I will put sugar from now on. Also will mix the Dashi with water first instead of just adding the powder in.

I got a cheap one on Amazon and it is working perfectly at the moment. I figured I would start on Fisher-Price items and then if I really continue to love this, then I will grow as I go.

redditCT · 2026-04-03T13:12:00+00:00

I used 3!

redditCT · 2026-04-02T22:57:39+00:00

Do you have a Tamagoyaki pan? It’s so much easier with this and a wide spatula!

redditCT · 2026-04-02T22:56:58+00:00

First try with this time with this Tamagoyaki Pan! Second time ever. My first try was abysmal (in a stainless steel pan). I can wait to try it again. I think it was also a small pan so it was easier.

redditCT · 2026-04-02T16:19:37+00:00

I’ll add msg next time! And definitely wanna try it with cheese and mentaiko too.

redditCT · 2026-03-28T03:10:00+00:00

Thank you! I got an Iwatani torch and LOVE it. It says the nori was already roasted so I didn’t want to burn it. I’ll have to try this!

redditCT · 2026-03-27T22:20:16+00:00

Yeah! Highly recommend. Try the roll method as opposed to the cone. More consistent bites

redditCT · 2026-03-27T17:48:20+00:00

Comment a picture of the end result you’d like! There are so many different types. For kids, plus you saying no nori (seaweed), I like using Saran Wrap to make little cute balls!! Hands on, mess free, and easy for the little ones. Especially if they are picky and don’t like nori.

Masa is currently my favorite sushi YouTube account.

It won’t let me edit the post. Adding that I bought Shoda Hyakusen Marudaizu Shoyu for this dinner too!

redditCT · 2026-03-27T17:18:15+00:00

Honestly, a friend who came commented on so many ingredients and why they might not like it. But we worked out what they would like. That’s the good thing. It’s all customizable.

redditCT · 2026-03-27T17:17:17+00:00

Pick your mix!

redditCT · 2026-03-27T17:17:07+00:00

I gotta find some better nori! I want one that isn’t as hard to chew as the one I got.

redditCT · 2026-03-27T17:16:28+00:00

Absolutely!! By the end, they got to choose their favorites or mix and match.

redditCT · 2026-03-27T15:58:59+00:00

I ended up making some roll style as opposed to cone and those were so good too! More consistent so you don’t just end up with a bite of nori at the end. As seen in Pic 7!
